Flavors From Florida introduces Fruiteas, an exciting line of fruit and tea flavor systems.  This is not your grandmother’s tea with a lemon wedge on the side.   Our custom line of fruit teas come packed with fruit juice, and also can be lightly carbonated.

Green tea is at the forefront of the healthy beverage trend and ours is loaded with antioxidants and polyphenols.  When combined with the super fruits, our Green fruit tea stands out with taste and functionality.

Black tea is the most widely consumed tea in the world.  In combination with exotic fruit juices our Black fruit tea is a beverage that refreshes and re-hydrates and claims “no sugar added”.

Rooibos - pronounced 'Roy-Boss' – sometimes called Red tea, originates in the mountains of South Africa.   Our Red Tea with juice is an exotic and cutting edge product that screams innovation.  Rooibos extracts have been shown to have anti-carcinogenic effects and may aid the immune system in fighting viral infections.  Spiced up with ginger or cinnamon and sweetened with 100% juice our Red fruit tea is a truly original product.

All of the teas have epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) and polyphenols which studies have shown may help with atherosclerosis, LDL cholesterol, cancer, diabetes and many other beneficial health claims.  Put that together with the antioxidant benefits of the super fruits and you’ll not only have a refreshing, great tasting tea, but one that is actually good for you.  All of the Fruiteas systems are available without any added sugar.

Teas sweetened with tropical fruits such as mango, guava or pineapple will appeal to tea lovers as well as consumers that like the island flavors.  Individuals seeking healthy beverage choices and want a great tasting tea will love the Fruit-Teas with blueberry, pomegranate or acai.

Tea is the most commonly consumed beverage in the world right after water.  Don’t be left out, jump on the Fruiteas train and develop your customized line of this new and exciting beverage concept.  For samples and additional information, please contact us today!

New Flavor System Development

Flavor system development work requires foresight, imagination and attention to detail. We don’t strive to give to you a “me too” product. Our research department and application labs are constantly working to give to our customers new and insightful flavor systems that are both imaginative in concept and premium in quality.

The formulation and product development of fruit juice drinks requires the balancing of many different quality attributes. Among these attributes would be included sweetness, tartness, flavor character and intensity, color and overall smoothness. The further inclusion of HealthSystems™ attributes adds another dimension to this already complicated product profile.

At Flavors From Florida, we know fruit juice drinks.  Consequently, when it came time to develop the HealthSystems™ line of beverages, it was necessary to blend our extensive technical knowledge of fruit juice beverages with the attributes of HealthSystems™ to yield a complete line of “good for you” beverages that still have that perfect balance. Here are some examples:

LOW CALORIE FRUIT JUICE DRINKS WITH ADDED FIBER 

This line of low calorie fruit juice drinks contains all of the attributes of pure fruit juice with the added quality of increased fiber content.  Each 8 ounce serving of these beverages contains 25% of the daily requirement for dietary fiber and is still less than 40 calories per serving.

TROPICAL BEVERAGES WITH ADDED PHYTOSTEROLS

Phytosterols are plant derived sterols similar in chemical structure to cholesterol that have been found in controlled studies, to reduce the absorption of dietary cholesterol, which can impact serum cholesterol levels.  Our lines of tropical beverages, containing phytosterols, are highly flavorful with a sweetness and nectar-like quality that says “healthy” and also says “tastes great”.
